RPM package missing from download options #84

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Pre-built RPM packages for the most popular RPM-based distros would be nice 
(done fairly easily using mock[1]). See change:

https://ceres-solver-review.googlesource.com/2540

for a .spec that is tested on a RHEL6-based distro but should be general enough 
to work for most other RPM-based distros.

Taylor,

Keir and I are unable to do this in our dev environments. And we would like to 
stick to providing source distributions for now. If there are folks who would 
like to contribute rpms/debs/windows builds, I am okay with it, but I am 
skeptical that we want to deal with producing the binaries on our end.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks.

Before we close this: Taylor, if you are willing to build RPM's with each 
release cycle we can distribute them. We just can't do it ourselves.

I don't think I'll be able to reliably build RPMs for each release, but you
may want to consider using something like the OpenSUSE Build Service
(OBS)[1]. Given a .spec file it can build .rpm packages for several
different distributions and given a .dsc it can build .deb packages for
Debian and Ubuntu.

With a fairly simple "_service" file, it will

 - generate a tarball of a specific git revision (e.g. a "1.4.0" tag)
 - extract .spec or .dsc files from that tarball
 - correctly set the version in the .spec file
 - build .rpm and .deb packages for all .spec and .dsc files it found in
the tarball - one package for each distro you have opted to build for.
These are the supported distributions that can be built against:

I created an an OBS package that with a _service file that is quite close
if you are interested in checking it out[2]. For the Fedora 17 and 18
builds to work, the spec file needs a small change[3]. For the dependencies
to be resolved for a RHEL-6 build, there would need to be some way to build
for a "RHEL-6+EPEL" distribution - I'm not sure how/if that's possible.
